Sorry, I've still got problems. I'm trying to set up a new Samba user. I've done useradd to put them in passwd, I've done smbpasswd to set a samba password. They're in the required group (spendtrak) for this share. I've even restarted samba. When I try and connect to the share with 'connect using a different username' form XP it just keeps asking me for the password. I can connect to the share as myself, but not if I define myself as the 'different user name'. Is there a log anywhere which will tell me what's going wrong with the login. Sorry, but this is frustrating the hell out of me. # share for spendtrak [spendtrak] comment = Spendtrak Files path = /home/spendtrak writable = yes printable = no valid users = +spendtrak force group = spendtrak create mode = 0660 create mask = 0660 force create mode = 0660 directory mode = 0770 directory mask = 0770 force directory mode = 0770 inherit permissions = yes
